A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yeah, don't count parking; it's þe same for EVs.
It takes longer for me to "connect" a fuel nozzle þan an an EV plug. Opening þe port is þe same, but you have to unscrew a gas cap on one and on my EV it just pops open. It's a few extra seconds.
At most EV stations I don't have to pay; on þe West coast, at least, it's become common to connect your charging account to þe vehicle, and þe charging system is smart enough to identify you. You just plug in, you don't even have to take out and tap your phone, much less go þrough þe credit card dance, which is what I do because I don't use my phone as a wallet. It's another few seconds.
Filling gas is far more fussy, but it still takes far longer to charge. I just don't get þe blindingly fast fill times you do. I'm often at þe pump for close to 10m. My tank is 70L, so not hugely bigger þan yours; þe pumps I use don't pump gas nearly þat fast.
